Stef's: POV
All the guest have arrived sitting at the table. We were waiting for Lena to make her grand entrance, Francesca and Brandon had just came out. Babe where's your mom at Stef asks Francesca. Mama relax you know how mommy is she wants to look her best for the party Francesca says to me. I can't believe l'm getting told off by my ten year old daughter, when l see Lena making her towards the kitchen, my mind goes completely blank. She looks absolutely beautiful in her newly strengthen hair do that hung down her shoulders, this has been the first time l'm seeing Lena without her curly hair. I held out my hand as she walks down the steps of the yard, everyone stands up from their seats and shout happy birthday to her. She's over come with emotion
Lena practically has tears in her eyes
Thank you you guys l told myself while I was getting ready l wasn't going to cry Lena says as she clears her throat, she squeezes my hand
As we walked to the table. I took her out a chair for her to sit down, Francesca was sitting on Lena's side and Brandon sat right next to me
While Stewart sat across from us at the table just smiling seeing his daughter talking to everybody at the table, it's been a rough year since losing my beloved wife. Everything that happened to my granddaughter Francesca, that left my daughter and daughter in law Devastated. My Grandson moved in with me permanently and now we're celebrating Lena's thirty fifth birthday
The serves were all walking around
Passing out bowls of salad before the main course. Stephanie surely out done herself on this huge dinner party, l know Lena didn't want one in the beginning but eventually she came around to the idea l knew why she didn't want to celebrate this year because Dana and her would fly to new York to see a broad way show
Then go to a day spa to get all pampered and then later they would go to dinner, the day of Lena's birthday they would go on a shopping spree. My gift Lena this year was a brand new car and gift cards to all of favorite stores, and money in a card
I'll probably wait until later to get her alone. Everyone was eating their food
I see, Brandon doesn't look like he's enjoying himself cause I overheard Stef speaking to him earlier about him talking on his phone. Hopefully there is no drama tonight, that's the last thing we needed. l can hear the jazz music playing in the distance, Lena always loved this kind of smooth jazz
Once the salads were done, the waiters came back over to collect the dirty dishes while the other staff brought out the main course, which was baked chicken breast broccoli
Jasmine Rice and the other meat was Steak a baked potato and asparagus
The drinks were already on the table
There were pitchers of ice tea and water.
